Evaluation

Overall I am pleased with how my design turned out, as I feel I have the right balance of Elizabethan referencing as well as having a modern twist on this. The first idea came for my look when I was looking through my Instagram and I came across a painting by an artist called Michael Hussar, which to me looked Elizabethan, so from this I then went into looking for similar looks which I could draw inspiration from. When working with my partner the main problem we had was the amount of product that was being applied, as when there was too much this lead to the look being too ‘messy’ looking and not looking as if any though had gone into it. Although I wanted the look to look almost painted on, I wanted some structure, which I feel Rebecca also struggles with as she is a perfectionist, which was not what this makeup was about. However we overcame this problem by practicing in lessons as well as our own time, and through Rebecca making the mistake of applying too much product she learnt from this and in the timed assessment we knew what not to do, this leading to a successful final outcome.

I found working with Rebecca’s design was an pleasant experience, as we both felt comfortable to be able to tell the other when we wanted something changing, however with her design the part I struggled with the most was having the eyebrows even, so to overcome this problem, Rebecca made some stencils which not only saved time but allowed the eyebrow to be perfectly even. Overall I really enjoyed working with Rebecca and this project.
